Sorry away on business.
Thanks Chris. Unfortunately, as you probably know, up in the northeast we would have an easier time racing water sleds than cars right now at the track. Gotta dry up so I can get a good run in.
Aggression; yeah, what tires was I running? Ha, ha. I took a pair of street tires out of my tire pile (Ventu's 225/50 16's). They were running more than 30 lbs in them. I tried to take some air out at the track but when I went to take the air out, one of the needles got stuck so I got it "unstuck" quickly and left them alone. I did try the street 14's with real low pressure (I thought I would need these for the low gearing. Not necessary), all I got was spin, spin, spin. I tried launching in second but could only stall or spin. Well, I tried it. In addition, the Ventu's I grabbed were directional but off the same side of the car ( I was in hurry and didn't plan on going to the track. I was just grabbing "stuff" to get up there in time).
Cougar, as for set-up (pardon me if I forget something, I am doing this off the top of my head);
Inside: JE 10.5 Crower 2 Stainless valves .020 off head 5 angle valve job Personal port and polish (intake and exhaust) MLS Head gasket Of course, full rebuild on bearing etc. (stock) Full float wrist pins
Outside: AF/X pulley AF/X ECU Jeep 60 mm TB Personal port and polish intake 1 adj. cam gear on intake side E-bay Ram air intake Catch can E-bay 4-1 header (cleaned up with grinder) "hi-flow cat" 2.5 exhaust No power steering
Suspension; tiens and adj KYB's (1.8 drop) in front stock springs adj KYB in back
There are some things that I may have wanted to do but didn't because I wanted to test out theories.
